Dr. Alysia Zhou Bio



If you are looking for local services or  treatment from your Local Ophthalmologist in the office or hospital from a Local Ophthalmologist, contact a provider such as ( Dr. Alysia Zhou ) to inquire if they are accepting patients or you need a referral.   Phone number to book an appointment (705) 324-9404

The speaker in the video may have no association with ( Dr. Alysia Zhou, Local Ophthalmologist Lindsay, ON ). 
( Dr. Alysia Zhou, Local Ophthalmologist Lindsay, ON ), may talk about some of the conditions and some of the treatment options shown on the videos. Always talk with your Local Ophthalmologist about the information you learnt from the videos in regards to treatments for What is Glaucoma? and procedures the Local Ophthalmologist could  perform and if they would be appropriate for you. Remember good information is the corner stone to understanding your condition or disease.

A local ophthalmologist is different from a local optometrist in that an optometrist doesn’t perform surgery. If you have a condition known as ocular hypertension, which is a result of high ocular pressure, your risk of developing glaucoma increases.Your optometrist or ophthalmologist may want to lower your IOP as a preventative measure.

Please contact ( Dr. Alysia Zhou, Local Ophthalmologist Lindsay, ON ) to enquire if this health care provider is accepting new patients.Patients are often concerned that an injection of material into their eye will be a painful or scary procedure. In fact, after the first or second injection, patients become quite at ease with the idea that they will have these injections, Following an intravitreal injection, you may feel pressure or grittiness in the eye, slight bleeding on the white of the eye and floaters in your vision. These are temporary and normal. As glaucoma progresses, it damages more and more of your optic nerve fibers, leading to vision loss. With primary open-angle glaucoma, the fluid can’t effectively flow back out of your eye. Angle-closure glaucoma occurs when the iris of the eye closes off the drainage angle completely, causing an increase in IOP pressure and damage to the optic nerve.

Glaucoma is a condition where there is increased pressure within the eyeball, causing damage to the optic nerve and gradual loss of sight.  If glaucoma is detected early preventative measures can be taken to save vision loss.

Cataracts can affect both eyes or just one, and some patients experience mild symptoms, while others can barely see any shapes or movements. Cataract symptoms include blurry vision, haloes, sensitivity to bright lights, decreased night vision, frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions, and faded colours.

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that primarily affect the optic nerve, which transmits visual information from the retina to the brain. In most cases of glaucoma, damage to the optic nerve is associated with increased pressure within the eye, known as intraocular pressure (IOP). However, glaucoma can also occur without elevated IOP, known as normal-tension glaucoma.

When the pressure inside the eye becomes elevated, it can cause compression and damage to the retinal fibers that make up the optic nerve. These fibers are responsible for transmitting visual signals to the brain, allowing us to see.

Quiz: Do You Understand Glaucoma?

Questions
True
False
1

Glaucoma damages your optic nerve fibers over time.

Explanation:

Glaucoma is an eye disease caused by a buildup of intraocular pressure (IOP). Your eyes have clear liquid that flows in and out, but if you have glaucoma, this liquid doesn’t drain properly, causing this buildup of IOP pressure. As glaucoma progresses, it damages more and more of your optic nerve fibers, leading to vision loss.

2

With primary open-angle glaucoma, the fluid can still effectively flow back out of your eye.

Explanation:

With primary open-angle glaucoma, the fluid can’t effectively flow back out of your eye. In many cases, people don’t even know that they have glaucoma until they experience vision loss.

3

Angle-closure glaucoma occurs when the iris of the eye closes off the drainage angle completely.

Explanation:

Angle-closure glaucoma occurs when the iris of the eye closes off the drainage angle completely, causing an increase in IOP pressure and damage to the optic nerve.

4

Ocular hypertension is a result of high ocular pressure.

Explanation:

If you have a condition known as ocular hypertension, which is a result of high ocular pressure, your risk of developing glaucoma increases.

5

Drops are the second line of treatment of glaucoma.

Explanation:

Glaucoma treatment is centered around lowering your IOP in order to prevent further vision loss. Drops are the first line of treatment of glaucoma.

    Dr. Zhou cost my husband his eyesight!!!! She threatened him that she would pull his license if he did not have cataract surgery, we should have double checked with someone else, but we were scared into it, his eyesight now is awful....another doctor told us cataract surgery is never an emergency and she should not have touched him....this is from a specialist at Sunnybrook. Be careful people, better yet go elsewhere!!!

    I was referred by my local optometrist to Dr Zhu and he told me upfront that she is straight to the point. I found her staff to be welcoming and friendly from the moment I walked in. I only met the Dr for a brief few minutes, but I fount her to be kind not at all like some of the reviews. She was very brief, but she did say she wanted to see me back for more testing in 5 months. Overall I had a pleasant experience with Dr Zhu and her office.

    Extremely rude person, was transferred from another eye doctor due to retirement and was told to get a referral, which since she took over an existing doctors patients, referral shouldnt be required. Was rude about why i was there.

    I have had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Zhou on 2 occasions and have found her knowledgeable, punctual and professional. She is definitely not warm and fuzzy but she knows her stuff and I find her very caring. I am very fortunate to have her expertise in monitoring my condition.

    I had been seeing Dr. Cooper for years due to being a type 1 diabetic with no concerns about my treatment by him. Enter Dr. Zhou upon his retirement and now I am very concerned. Been seeing her every 3 months due to high pressure in my eyes and she has yet to do anything. Every light has halos around them, my eyes ache all the time, my pupils are not equal in size and a constant headache that gets severe at times....her response...I am not a headache doctor, You can still see, come back in 3 months. She was also told when I first saw here that Glaucoma is present in my family....so as my Optic Nerve is possible being damaged, she has yet to do anything and just dismisses my concerns. I do not recommend her and I am looking for another eye specialist right now before I go blind because of her ineptitude as a doctor.

    This woman should really consider another career. Her interpersonal skills are terrible. Her manner is detatched, uncommunicative, evasive, curt & dismissive. On this visit, she asked me questions about when was I seeing a Dr. I had never heard of, & insisted that "he referred me." Then she mentioned ANOTHER Dr's name (also unknown to me) & got angry when I said I had never seen or heard of either of them. I suspect she was looking at someone else's file & was too embarrassed to admit it. Needless to say, I won't be seeing her again.

    1 star is too high. Don't even want to her refer as Dr. Egotistical,condescending without much knowledge or consideration of the mayhem she is causing. I fear that my sister's eyesight will be permanently damaged by her recklessness. Lindsay definitely needs a more qualified and more attentive Ophthalmologist.

    Dr Zhou did not listen to what I wanted to say and just referred me out. Poor communication, rude, arrogant and condescending. Doesn't explain treatments or condition unless prompted. No consideration for patients especially seniors. She makes you feel rushed and hence you don't finish the questions you might have wanted to ask. Impression is patient is too stupid to understand and should just do what she says!!

    Pathetic excuse for a doctor! Took my mom to her once and never again. So sad Dr. Copper retired and she took over. She treated my mother like a second class citizen. I could tell you more but other people are saying the exact same thing. I hope she reads these comments and acts on them. Office staff were quite rude as well!! Unbelievable!

    Dr. Zhou did not answer my concern with difficulty vision in my left eye, did not comment at all. She said nothing about my cataracts or glicoma. She only told me to book another appointment in a few months. Very poor doctor patient communication. My wife was also misdiagnosed with her telling her that she only had dry-eye and actually had severe eye infection. We will never go back to Dr. Zhou. Both of us are seeking a new doctor.

    My dad had a horrible experience with this so called doctor. He is diabetic and has been seen every six months since 1977 by Dr. Cooper until he retired. After only one visit with Dr. Zhao he was totally dismissed. She was rude, and an absolutely terrible doctor. In the end she didn’t do the diabetes exam. He most definitely won’t be back. Her staff were miserable too. Just a horrible way to treat a senior or anyone for that matter.
